Onion Website Hosting — Build Professional .onion Sites
Creating a professional website on the Tor network should not require deep expertise in onion service configuration. AnubizHost's onion website hosting provides developer-friendly tools, CMS integration, and optimized infrastructure so you can build and maintain your .onion site with the same ease as a clearnet website.

Website Hosting Made Easy on Tor
Traditional .onion site deployment involves manually configuring Tor, editing torrc files, setting up a web server, and troubleshooting hidden service descriptor propagation. AnubizHost eliminates all of that. Select your plan, and within minutes you have a working .onion website with a pre-configured web server, file manager, and deployment pipeline ready to use.
Our platform supports static websites, content management systems like WordPress and Ghost, custom applications built with any language, and single-page applications built with React, Vue, or Angular. Upload your files through our Tor-accessible file manager, push via Git, or deploy containers — whatever workflow fits your team.
We also provide website templates optimized for Tor. These templates account for the higher latency of Tor circuits by minimizing external requests, inlining critical CSS, lazy-loading images, and pre-rendering content. The result is an .onion website that feels responsive despite the inherent overhead of onion routing.
Content Management on Tor
Running a CMS on an .onion site presents unique challenges. Most content management systems assume clearnet connectivity for updates, plugin installation, and media embedding. AnubizHost's onion website hosting includes a Tor-aware package manager that routes all update traffic through Tor, so your CMS stays current without ever connecting to the clearnet.
We offer one-click installers for WordPress, Ghost, Drupal, and Jekyll. Each installation is pre-hardened with security plugins, disabled XML-RPC, rate limiting, and Tor-optimized caching. The admin panel is accessible exclusively through your .onion address, ensuring your content management activities remain private.
Media handling is also optimized for Tor. Our image processing pipeline automatically compresses and resizes uploads to reduce page weight. We support WebP and AVIF formats for smaller file sizes. A built-in CDN cache layer serves static assets from memory, dramatically reducing load times for repeat visitors to your .onion website.
Developer Tools and APIs
AnubizHost provides a full suite of developer tools accessible over Tor. SSH access lets you manage your server directly. Our Tor-accessible Git hosting enables version-controlled deployments with webhooks that automatically rebuild your site on push. CI/CD integration is available through our API for automated testing and deployment workflows.
The AnubizHost API is accessible exclusively via .onion address and supports all management operations: server provisioning, DNS-equivalent configuration for multi-onion setups, backup management, resource monitoring, and service restarts. API authentication uses Ed25519 key pairs rather than passwords, eliminating the risk of credential theft.
We provide SDKs for Python, Node.js, and Go that handle Tor SOCKS proxy configuration automatically. Build custom automation around your .onion website hosting without worrying about low-level Tor connectivity details. Our API documentation is comprehensive and includes runnable examples for every endpoint.
Scaling Your Onion Website
As your .onion website grows, AnubizHost grows with it. Upgrade your plan with zero downtime — we migrate your data to larger infrastructure while your site continues serving traffic. Vertical scaling is available up to dedicated hardware with 64 CPU cores, 256 GB RAM, and multi-terabyte NVMe storage arrays.
For high-traffic .onion sites, we offer horizontal scaling through OnionBalance, which distributes incoming Tor connections across multiple backend servers sharing a single .onion address. This setup provides both load distribution and fault tolerance. If one backend goes down, traffic automatically routes to the remaining healthy servers.
We also support geographic distribution of OnionBalance backends across multiple data centers. This improves performance for visitors worldwide by reducing the Tor circuit length needed to reach your nearest server. Combined with our anycast-optimized Tor relay connectivity, this delivers the best possible performance for a globally accessed .onion website.
